forestalled this appeal is shown by the fact that in one society alone the women's emer gency corps received 10,000 offers o personal service during the first two weeks of the war the fact that this

goal ouches of marlborough urges abie-bodied women to join the service london march is the duchess of marlborough in a let ter to the times suggests that women engaged in work con nected with the war be eligible to receive the industrial war medal which lord kitchener re cently announced would be awarded to workers producing war materials the duchess quoting the government's new scheme of organizing women workers thus releasing more army recruits writes this is an appeal to every ablebodied woman not bound by family ties to enlist in the in dustrial war service that wom en have forestalled this appeal is shown by the fact that in one society alone the women's emer gency corps received 10,000 offers o personal service during the first two weeks of the war the fact that this service has not been largely utilized is attributed to the attitude of the men work ers and not to the lack of re sponse among women the present emergency and the government's appeal to women form a propitious oc casion creating a precedent in the bestowal of honors in which other countries have already set us an example under these circumstances il would amount to an invidious distinction were women rendered ineligible to receive the indus trial war medal and au announce ment of the government's inten tions would be welcomed by women in general the duchess of marlborough icho is leading
